Rating/Warnings: Low/None
Status: Complete
Merlin was excited, he had a long weekend off from work to spend with Audrey and the bump and they were going to sort out the nursery. They had decided not to know the sex of the baby and were therefore going with neutral colours and animal designs for the walls. Merlin could always cheat and change the colours later if they wanted to, though they weren’t really blue and pink people anyway. Their child could have whatever colour it liked once it was old enough to choose.
Standing in the room he looked around with a smile, it was hard to believe that in just about three months there would be a baby in here. Their baby.
Audrey was ready for this. She’d decided to do things the muggle way, and bought paint and wall decals and a pair of maternity overalls so she could really look the part while they painted the nursery walls. The furniture they’d already assembled was in the middle of the room under a tarp, and some other things they had to work on were still waiting in the hallway.
It would start feeling more real in here when there was an actual crib in the room.
Audrey came up behind Merlin and wrapped her arms around his waist to hug him from behind. “Ready to paint?”
“Ready. And no magic” he added as a reminder to himself mostly, a lot of the time it happened without his conscious knowledge though that was less now he had his full contingent of dreams and knew exactly how much power he held. He took her hands in his and kissed her palms before turning in her arms to kiss her lips sweetly.
Audrey relaxed her arms so he could turn around, and then kissed him in return. Maybe not as sweetly. There was a hunger in her much more frequently now with rampaging hormones than ever before. But she wouldn’t let herself get distracted. She pulled back after a moment and nearly scolded herself. “Don’t let me get all riled up. We’ve got work to do.” A little smirk, and then she stepped into the room to start setting up the paint.
“Yes ma’am. I’ll rile you up later once the work is done” he told her with a wink, Merlin had no complaints about the rampaging hormones. Sure he’d overslept a couple of times but it had so been worth it. “Remember, you have to take a break every 45 minutes, I don’t want you breathing in paint fumes for too long”
“Okay.” Audrey said, grinning. She loved it. It was good. So very good. Sex while pregnant was better than regular sex. Audrey thought, anyway. She poured out some paint onto the rolling tray, and got out the rollers, then dipped it in. “Yes. Plenty of breaks and lots of ventilation. Okay, walls, ready to go green?” She asked, standing up to bring the brush to the wall.
Merlin had found that sex while Audrey was pregnant was great and she seemed extra sensitive too which Merlin was exploiting a lot. “Okay, ready” he nodded brandishing his own roller and nodding before the approached the walls.
She’d never been that hard to get off in the first place. Actually, to the contrary, how sensitive Audrey had been before pregnancy could actually have been a bad thing. Thankfully, Merlin was quick to adjust to Audrey’s body in almost any situation, and they were finding amazing ways of pleasing one another. Several times. All night long most nights. Love, sex, marriage, baby. It left Audrey with an incredibly full heart.
It didn’t take long for Audrey to figure this whole painting thing out. She’d never done it before, but she’d read a lot about it online. She got into a groove, and only got speckled with paint on her overalls in the process. Okay, and some got on her nose and in her hair.
Merlin firmly believed that if you didn’t have paint on you then you weren’t doing it right. He’d painted rooms loads at home and always ended up with it over him. Still with Audrey that would just mean they’d need to shower together and that was a reward.
Looking around once they had done a coat on each wall he grinned at her, “We’re a great team” he told her, “Oh, you have a bit of paint on your cheek” he said reaching out and stroking her cheek leaving a trail of paint behind. “Ooops my mistake” he teased with a chuckle.
Audrey laughed. “What? Well, two can play at that game...” She lifted her fingers, brushed them against her paint roller, then brushed them over his face, too.
Merlin laughed before giving her the same on the other side, like war paint. “Still beautiful” he told her, leaning in to kiss her and in the process ending up with paint on both their noses.
Audrey didn’t mind the paint. She didn’t mind it smearing between them. They could easily just magic it off, or playfully wash each other off in the shower. Either way, she lifted her arms to wrap them up and around his shoulders, drawing him to kiss him deeper.
Either way worked for Merlin, though if asked he’d much prefer the shower option. He was fairly sure Audrey wouldn’t mind that either. He wrapped his arms around her waist and returned the kiss, stroking her spine.
There was a ridiculous baby bump between them now. And the baby moved, possibly to the point that Merlin could feel it even through their clothes. Audrey ignored it for a moment, her arms around him, her mouth and tongue enjoying his own. But then she had to pull back. “...I have to go pee. Again.” It was probably time to get out of the fumes, anyway.
Merlin adored it when the baby moved, it felt incredible. Though he didn’t have to contend with it moving in uncomfortable ways to be fair. He grinned, “Go, pee” he said with a nod, “Time to let this dry too”
“I love you.” Audrey repeated. She kissed his lips once more before pulling completely away from him. “We can have lunch after.” She had these amazing sausage rolls that she’d made the night before. They could reheat them quite easily in the microwave.
“I love you too” he replied with a smile, “Lunch sounds good. I’ll get it started” he told her kissing her again before making his way to the kitchen while she went to the bathroom.
